KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF

Pro-tip: just assume your colleague does not want you to touch them unless they specifically state otherwise.

Yes, this includes cheek kisses, lingering hugs, creepy uncle brush-ups, and the discomfortingly clammy hand-on-the-lower-back. Basically, anything more than a handshake.

READ THE BODY LANGUAGE

Wilson noted that women werent as forthcoming as the men at some of the etiquette conferences shed given.

When she asked for their opinions on appropriate behaviour, one woman even admitted she didnt realise it was okay to say no when a man tried to make physical contact.

But non-verbal cues hold just as much volume regardless, and Wilson said she herself uses her body language to emphasise whats appropriate behaviour.

LAY OFF THE BOOZE

Alcohol intake is no excuse in itself for sexual harassment, but Wilson says theres no denying it can be a trigger for some people.

It really boils down to self-respect, knowing how people should treat you and how you want to be treated, she said. Drinking a lot of alcohol can affect that. Australia in particular is a very boozy country its a culture with lots of alcohol.

Have a couple of glasses of champs, max.

CALL OUT CRAPPY BEHAVIOUR

We know how it is. The blokes are all seated around a pub table, pretending to actually enjoy beer while desperately hoping no one will see the micro-expression of disgust hitting their face with every sip.

Then, the conversation turns to women, and the tone is objectifying and generally gross.

It does not make you any less of a man to call them out on it and change the conversation. If anything, passively permitting it only makes you just as much of an arsehole.

Do you follow these rules?

I'm neither a virgin, nor do I hate women. You must have me mixed up with someone else.

I dunno if he's joking or not, but that's his current gimmick, yeah.

I "hate women" but I have lots of female friends, and wish I had a girlfriend. Because that somehow makes sense.

Are the women at college really as horny as people say? That they're extremely easy to f*** if you know how to socialize?

This is a complete myth. College girls are very stuck up and only want a 10/10 Chad. At least girls who never went to college, or 23+ y/o girls may be willing to relax their standards slightly.

I was thinking about this today. Genetics determine how tall you'll be, how good-looking you'll be, your muscle mass, your intelligence, whether you'll have depression or other mental disorders, etc. Just about everything is genetically determined. Perhaps I was destined from the very beginning to end up depressed and alone. At least I had a couple GFs when I was in my early 20s, aka my physical prime. At least my genetics were good enough to get me that far.

Both of these were within the last hour dude.

Maybe you should be paying attention to stuff like this.

I had some bad experiences with college girls. But I don't hate women.

lol wat. I thought this was about men, not 14 year olds.

So pretty much all of this is stuff everyone should follow, but of course it has to be targeted at just men.

You post like someone from incel.

The things men say about women amongst their buddies are literally the same things women say about men.

I'm not even kidding. That boorish conversation behavior that men get so much flak for, women do it too. Women may not do it as often, but I don't know many girls who don't do it.

Well that's just harsh and unnecessary.

Welp, we're screwed.

This should be basic knowledge.

Where the fuck did that come from?

Like, the author felt some pathological NEED to slip in their dislike of beer apropos of nothing?

Just tells me that the woman who wrote the article is hyperdefensive and very pretentious.

Lol @ knocking the author on her taste in liquor while not acknowledging the fact that she's right.

None of that shit is OK. Don't be doing it and you won't get sued.
